Must have: Positive attitude with a focus on teamwork for this fast-paced quick-turnover unit. Our focus is ED decompression and enhanced throughput. We are not an overflow or a holding unit. We are a Clinical Decision/Direct Admit Unit with a primary goal of receiving admitted patients from the ED, completing the Admission Assessment, Medication Reconciliation, and initiating acute care orders. This constantly refined process reduces overall length of stay and enhances the patient/family experience. We care for patients with a wide variety of diagnoses; therefore, a well-rounded background will be instrumental.

As stated above, we do float to other units as needed; however, we also offer a couple of additional opportunities in our CMU Telemetry Unit and as ED Transporters. The CMU Telemetry nurses are centrally located and oversee our telemetry patients to ensure safety. These nurses escalate issues at the clinical level to ensure patients are placed on telemetry timely and remain on as indicated by orders. The ED Transport Nurses assist with moving higher acuity patients from the ED to specialized inpatient units. We staff 2 nurses 24/7 for this role. This initiative allows the ED nurse to remain in the ED to provide ongoing care which enhances throughput and ED decompression. General Comments No. of Positions: 1/1.
